Russell Griffiths

A strong and commanding presence in his area, the Blues’ goalkeeper was a near ever-present for the title-winning Under-18s in 2013/14.

He lifted the trophy alongside fellow co-captain Gethin Jones following a man of the match performance in the final against Manchester City.

In December 2014, the youngster was named on the bench for Everton's first-team game against FC Krasnodar and found himself again on the substitutes bench later that season while Tim Howard was sidelined with a calf injury.
